I've bought the dog collars to use as chest straps for back packs, but never thought of deconstructing them for other uses! I definitely need to do this! Also, I grab carabiners anytime I can find them there!

Thank you for pointing out readily available and inexpensive items that can be used for other sewing purposes. Many serious sewers always assume a deep wallet while low income people such as I want options to make practical or pretty items. I often view low cost items as materials for projects and not necessarily what is their manufactured purpose. BTW Fabric stores are far away and outside my budget. I have to look at other options.

Your kitchen towel tutorial just came up today in my feed! So I'm 2 programs into your devine tutorials! You are so clever, I'm hooked! I stopped the first show and subscribed half way through it! SO GLAD I FOUND YOUR WONDERFUL CHANNEL❣️ I'm going to use the over the chair holder backwards, to hold that pocket full of pillow stuffing with the top sewn closed-on my smaller chairs for a lumbar support! Won't have to carry my lumbar pillow around all day for each seat. Your cleverness has already sparked my imagination! Thanks for sharing your great ideas, and the DT products-which has just improved my daily life,❣️❣️ Looking forward to catching up w all your previous programs this week! Love your detailed, casual and concise style. And use of things easily available or on hand in my sewing corner. Thanks for sharing! G3 from Arizona

Tim, I am, this very moment, traveling from Union City, TN to my birthplace, Jackson, Michigan. I cajoled my son to stop at...Dollar Tree!! I bought 2 skeins of jute and some mini square, wooden blocks, along with candy and drinks; I also bought a 28mm rotary cutter and 6x8 inch self-healing mat. Great, great, great finds. I wasted no time in trying both (I used them on a piece of quilt square I conveniently had in the car), and to my surprise both worked very efficiently. I dare say the blade on the cutter was as sharp as my brand new costly rotary, and the mat showed nary a scratch. This brief stop was definitely worth it. By the way, I think I love you, so what are we so afraid of...sorry, just had to break into song. Seriously, I love watching your tutorials (you're actually one of two things I watch on my phone religiously. The other is "Elementary" on Hulu. I think I've watched it about 10 times back to back in the past 6 months. I'm not compulsive at all. P.s. I'm 55 and have been sewing since age 9. You do the math. God bless you and your work

Also, up here in Ontario, Canada, we have one and everything is $1.25. The Awesome! cleaners are amazing, and we can get pretty much everything you mentioned! It is a lifesaver, as our other dollar store is always from 1 to 4 dollars for items and are not always worth it. Thanks Tim! I made a list already... I will have to wait until lockdown is over - apparently craft and sewing items are non essential?? Blows my mind, especially because I make masks and sometimes need to pick things up for masks, however, we are almost to the end, so I am compiling my lists!

I find that the tabs like to wobble around when I am sewing across the end, so I stick them down with masking tape on both sides of the stitching line, and I don’t have them going sideways on me.
